Flickering candle song extinguished...thanks Stan and Andy

Ha, what’s funny is that I didn’t even know what DNR meant, I just assumed it was another 3-letter Alphabet Agency. I then went off on my own riff, based on what’s happening. Maybe one of you can tell me what DNR is since I seem clueless (Do Not Resuscitate?).

I know that was directed at Paul, but dude, let’s not make it personal. I really try not to do that, and I may not always succeed, but if we buy into “divide and conquer” we have already lost the battle. I think you do want to change people, or their thinking, as I feel that same impulse as well. I say (to myself, regarding others) “just wake up man!” But alas, nobody wants their mind changed. They’ll change it if they want to. I don’t want to hear the broken record of J6 Political Prisoners (D.C. Gulag) hate, I’d guess most people are past that. The only reason it’s a ‘thing’ is the constant Deep State “Mockingbird” (CIA) media pounding it into your brain day after day. The news cycle is notoriously short (ADD), usually, so when they pound it repeatedly you know it’s agendas and narratives. It’s brainwashing and propaganda. I’m sure you won’t agree, or even consider that, but Project Mockingbird is a known thing going back to the 1960’s. PsyOp’s, psychological manipulation, is everywhere, all the time. It’s draining trying to “discern” what might be true, but that’s what we’re tasked with. You can’t believe any outside source, only take in information and run it past your internal “Bullshit Detector” … if you have one.

Firstly, The First Amendment, Freedom of Speech, means the government cannot censor your speech or opinion, even if it is dissident to the current government. Since 1787-1789 that has been the law of the land (not that it’s always been respected). Essentially, you can say anything you want. You can disagree, you can dissent, you can criticize, and you can accuse based on reasonable evidence or suspicion. More modern interpretations have endeavored to ban “hate speech”, but that’s somewhat subjective to say the least. Most reasonable people interpret “hate speech” to mean “inciting violence”, but again it’s potentially subjective what was meant and what was interpreted (i.e. “imply” vs. “infer”). Big Tech is now openly admitting, based on court cases and testimony, that they have colluded with government to censor Free Speech. That should alarm any American that respects the Constitution (clearly, not all do at this point). Government colluding with Big Tech/corporatacracy/technocracy is neither legal nor moral/ethical. Anyone who thinks AI can do better, I’d say is insane, because letting machines rule humans is the ultimate dystopia!

Yes, I changed my opinion about multiple things multiple times over the last few years. I believe that’s the trademark of an “open mind”. I’m constantly willing to re-evaluate my opinion based on the evidence, and have done so repeatedly and fervently. Literally even day-to-day based on what’s happening. I take in massive volumes of information, and decide for myself what I think it means (as I think every one should; to shirk that duty is intellectual laziness). The world is “illusion”, or The Clown World, and many times things are not as they appear, and even less as they are ‘prognosticated’.

I know you are a good person with a good heart, so I appreciate your sentiments! And we used to agree politically, but I realized I was brainwashed by Mainstream Media (MSM). I watched CNN religiously, until one day I realized (this actually grew over many years) they were lying to my face. MSDNC are the same. CBS, NBC, ABC - no different. Local news - no different. They’re all controlled by sponsors - MONEY - especially Big Pharma now. FOLLOW THE MONEY! All the corruption - and it is rampant - is due to Big Money. You can’t believe anything you can’t see with your own eyes (in person, beyond the TV)! Much less Big Government! Yes I’m a conservative now, I believe in the Constitution and Small Government … the Federal Government only needs to address Defense (National Security) and Foreign Relations, per the Founder’s vision (actually 19 requirements, but that gets more complicated). Possibly economic aspects in modern times, but not a privately owned Federal Reserve, which we’ve been enslaved to for over 100 years (and Fiat Currency since 1971).

I’ve seen the spectrum - from Liberal, to Neo-Liberal, to Democratic Socialist, to Socialist/Marxist, to Conservative and Left vs. Right. It was a good education. I choose to remain fluid, though the current Cultural Marxism of “The Left” is lunacy to me. I personally experienced “The Great Divide” because I refused to go the Neo-Liberal/Communist path, and instead chose Conservatism. Conservatism is the polar opposite of Globalism, which is where we’re at now. Nationalism is not a bad thing. Each country should be proud of it’s heritage (regardless of dark chapters), and endeavor for fair and prosperous relations with other countries. You’re seeing the shift in Sweden and Italy, and other countries. The people (We The People) are sick and tired of the “wokeness” forced upon us by Cultural Marxism. We will see if the Red Wave comes about this November, and I’m no fan of RINO/fake Republican’s - I want America First candidates advocating for REAL change for a prosperous future without Globalist climate propaganda manipulation. They are trying to destroy you and all of us, can you not see that? Look at Europe! The USA may not be as bad off initially, but they’re trying to starve us to death and steal our energy necessities, as well as eventually exterminate us. They don’t need us or want us! I know you won’t understand that, but open your mind. Their whole agenda is upside-down and backwards, that’s why it makes no sense (Satanic), yet you argue for it anyway due to the mass formation psychosis (via MSM).

@feaker, I always love how you paint a picture with your lyrics! And although I’m listening on work headphones, I must say, the quality of your recordings and mixes shows a lot of improvement over the last several years. Keep up the good work! :beerbanger:

feaker,
I might have pitch-corrected the whistling; otherwise it all sounds really good!
